Not only Donald Trump plays golf. Tico Torres, a long -serving drummer at Bon Jovi, is also familiar with the Greens of this world.

On his Facebook page, US musician Huey Lewis recorded an episode around the Alfred Dunhill Cup in Scotland last winter. Tico Torres and he would “have become really good friends through golf. He has his heart in the right place”. Every year the two Showbiz veterans play as advanced VIPs at this tournament.

“Tico said: ‘Huey, how are you?’ He comes from New Jersey and sounds like one from” The Sopranos “. I said, “Tico, it’s bad. I lost my hearing. I can no longer sing.” He listened to me with a frown, gently shook his head and looked down all the time. When I was finished, he just said, ‘What to do?’ This is my new mantra: what do I want to do? I have to do something. I want to stay creative. I want to stay busy and not concentrate on how bad my hearing is. So I concentrate on our theater projects, fishing, the television program on which I work … that gives me hope. That keeps me alive. “

Tico Torres reacts to retreat rumors

In a similar situation on the slide in the retirement, the 71-year-old Torres himself is now. Various Internet sources have been spreading reports or better for a few weeks: rumors about his alleged retreat. The vertebrae apparently started when Bon-Jovi keyboardist David Bryan and singer Jon Bon Jovi described in a recently published episode of his podcast “Let Me Ask My Dad” as the only two remaining founding members of the band. Torres has been there since 1984.

“Hello everyone. I am here to refute many rumors that I have read,” Torres begins in a video message about his social media channels. “People call me and ask: ‘Did you withdraw from the band from the band?’ Well, I have no idea how these rumors are.

The broadly discussed voice problems of singer Jon Bon Jovi have largely kept the opera rock band away from the stage in recent years, with their last regular tour ending at the end of April 2022. The band’s last studio album was “Forever” from 2024. Last year Bon Jovi completed some shorter one-stop appearances, most recently on June 14, 2025 in Nashville. There were 17 hand-picked songs for noble fans who had booked a special all-inclusive weekend travel package.

Bon Jovi between break and losses

Jon Bon Jovi was last in the media in July 2025: Carol Bongiovi, mainly known to some fans as “Mom Jovi” and founder of the band’s first fan club, died on Tuesday (July 9th) three days before her 84th birthday in the Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, New Jersey. “Our mother was a force that had to be reckoned with; her mind and her attitude to take a little in hand,” said Jon Bon Jovi in ​​a explanation on social media. “We will miss them very much.”
